Thanks for watching! ✨ - Jak na to + styl
when you taped down the edges my mind was blown! what a great idea
AJ so glad you,are,continuing to inspire and teach your craft
Hi AJ!! I am so happy for you and this new journey as a rug content creator. I love your videos!!
Glad to see you back. It was watching your videos that made me start tufting.
just FYI the filters on your respirator are P-95. Great for particulate, but do nothing for vapors, which I assume is what you were worried about with the latex glue.
Then what's good for vapor?
I just found your channel and I’m so glad I did. How amazing are you? Most of us keep something like this as a hobby but you’ve really taken it to the next step. Good on you. Bravo, they’re beautiful 🇦🇺❤️
So glad youre back!! i finally got my own tufting gun about a month ago and all because your videos inspired me. ive started making pokemon rugs and other nerd culture designs and im having a lot of fun with it!!! Backing the rugs is still a little scuffed (lol) but i finally found a creative outlet that i have a lot of fun doing and its because of you! keep making videos, theyre always so helpful and fun to watch
I’m so glad to hear this!! Tufting is such a special creative outlet-I’m happy to hear it’s going well for you! Thanks for your support, too 💓
So happy to see you back I have been waiting for this for a long time 🙏🏽
Hey, love all your content. I just used the AAT 1132 without a mesh backing and it’s much less stiff that way. I think the mesh adds a lot of structure that makes the glue way harder. Just FYI :)
I love that you promote safety!
why is this video so calming?
Just wanted to say congratulations! You're definitely an inspiration to me.👍 I'm looking at finding myself, doing something creative and starting my own business. Very early stages. In the design process, mock up etc so I'm still working at my day job. 💔
I just love the creativity you bring.
Love the way you do your edges!!!
I love the process. They are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talents. I came across you on CZcams and I can't stop watching. I would Love to be able to do that. I had never heard of tufting before..it's exciting to watch.
This is insane!!! Thank you for this vid!!!
such incredible work! Amazing
Your content is very calming, I watched a lot of your videos so far since I am planning to start my tufting journey and I really enjoy it. Thank you :) Hope you enjoy it making videos as well. :)
Beautiful rugs! Excellent finishing on both!
Amazing vid!!! I can watch this hours! 😍
Congradulation Happy to see that you are going at it full time now that's amazing
Yay you’re back!!
Great work. Love the channel. Any tips on getting and keeping the fabric as tight as possible? Specifically in the middle? As of now it’s difficult to keep the proper tension
I’d love your trimmings/shavings to use in my paper making!
so so good!
Love it thanks so much for texting me back and providing so much good advice ! I’m gonna try the tape finishing method instead now
Great work! Love from London 🤜🏼❤️
i love it!! great job :)
Love it! Awesome rug.
Love your videos! Very neat!!!
What size frame are you using as well as the size of the rugs
These designs 😍😍😍
Hello dear its my first time to watch u but wd like to learn more from u .The pieces are so inspiring
Hi, curious if you have ever thought to try a clothing steamer, to make the more rigid glue more ply-able, for the finish work. Beautiful work btw
Absolutely love all of your videos. You're so inspiring to me.
Can I ask how you edit your videos? I'd love to start a YT but have no idea where to start, and really love your simplistic aesthetic
Your work is so amazing!
Do you mind me asking where or how you got/made your stand that holds it up for you while you are using the turfing gun or projector?
Amazon’s look so small.
Love your videos, so helpful! Can I ask what program you use to edit your videos loving the fonts and style!
AJ!! you crushed these! Such a great job!
Thank you!!
i never would have thought of twill tape, THANK YOU. i was so stressed.
Wooo these rugs are awesome!
its a copy of another artist, she didn't create this.
The ouroboros is an ancient symbol that is referenced by many artists. I am in no way claiming to make that up, but everything surrounding it is my original design 😊
loved your vibe. thx for sharing. hugsss from Brasil
ı just oredered my second tufting gun :) thank you AJ! ı am from Turkey and ı will start this businness :) you are an idol girll
Beautiful work as always. Kindly do a video on how you price your rugs. Thanks.
Informative video w/a sweet, soothing and eye candy = new subscriber
Bonjour merci pour la vidéo
J’aimerais savoir où avez vous pris la plaque que vous avez mis sur la tondeuse ? Merci
I saw you have a wahl shaver. Are you able to just use any electric shaver then?
Hie ,you really inspired me to start this project,where can I buy this turfting machine
Hey, love the video. What’s the brand of shears you’re using?
Great rugs !
how long did it take you to make the queen card? did it take a lot of yarn?
Congratulations keep pushing
This is amazing AJ and I love learning more about the little details of your process! Regarding a few comments about the similarity of your work to other artists, I don't want to bring negativity into the comment or get sucked into a comment section argument, but I looked up both artists mentioned and I don't think your work could be called a rip off or copy by any stretch of the imagination. I have to admit I was completely ready to agree with the comments if it turned out there were suspicious similarities, but it's normal for artists to have similar references and influence one another. I didn't think your work was overly similar at all and I love the originality of your designs. Don't let it get to you!
Thank you for sharing this, Kate 💓 I was ready to agree if I saw striking similarities too lol! But that hasn’t been the case. I appreciate your insight and your support.
Would you say one would definetly need secondary backing or would felt backing suffice?
ciao. sei bravissima e sto cercando di imparare.ho una domanda: usi la colla a caldo per finitura del tappeto, ma se si dovesse lavare o bagnare la colla a caldo terrebbe?
have you ever added foam to make like a puffy floor mat type rug? Also I LOVE YOUR RUGS!!!
your content is always amazing, thank you for the inspiration 👐
Olá! Acompanho teu trabalho, gostaria de saber só pode ser com lá ou tem outro tipo de fio que pode ser usado? obg.
Wish you all the best considering your decision to focus on art! Can't wait to see what you come up with :)
Thank you so much! 💓
Hello ! What kind of spool of "wool" do you use ? Thank :)
Which gun best for the tufting
I really want to get into this. Idk where to start but I’m very interested!!
I love your videos! I just got my tufting gun in the mail a few days ago and got my frame built and your videos have been so helpful while I’ve been researching while I waited for my gun! I was wondering where you buy the Roberts 007 spray adhesive you use? I looked at Lowe’s recently and they didn’t have it and I also can’t seem to find it online
Thank you!! Congrats 🎉 I get Robert’s 007 at Home Depot. Lowe’s doesn’t carry the Robert’s brand glues unfortunately. And from what I hear, they don’t have options that are comparable in quality to Robert’s (tho I’ve never tried them out myself)
hi awesome work. if u read me pls answer it, what is the name of the fabric that u use for tuft? Thnks
Fantastic 🤗💯💯
I like you work 🧡
I like your dog 🐕
can you make a video of the frame where you put the cloth?
really cool video
Love the rugs as always
Thank you! Do you mind clarifying what needle you're referring to exactly?
Where do you buy big cloth like that. Do they come in a big roll
This is awfully inspiring
Yesss! I just got those same exact sheers and they are so worth it!! Terrifying to use though. 😂
Seriously! hahah
What needle did you use to finish your rug?
hey AJ! love your work so much and would love to hear about why you chose to switch to Shopify! would also love to know how you package and ship your rug orders :)
I’d love to share more about that in a future video! And will definitely be documenting my shipping process of the rugs I’m working on now 👍🏼
I would love to buy the one with the clouds *hint hint* are you going to put that in your shop too? Can't wait to see what you do next
So I'm a total rug making/tufting newbie, but how doable is it to mix adhesives together to get a more custom finish? You were talking about how one leaves the rug stiff but durable, where the other leaves it more malleable. Is It possible to mix the two together to land somewhere in the middle, and would that be more desirable than either of the two extremes? These both turned out fantastic, btw, and you're really inspiring me to give this a try soon!
Hi Kelsey 😊 one time, I used the AAT glue in the center of my rug (the stuff one) and Robert’s 3095 around the outside so that I could fold the edges over easier. It worked well! But I wouldn’t feel comfortable actually mixing the two together like you would with paint for example… I’m no chemist lol but these adhesives are no joke. I would personally fear some kind of weird chemical reaction but maybe that’s just me being extra careful 😅
@@AJMAKES137 Gotcha! Thanks so much for replying!
Hey am from Africa i want this so much work if what fabric do you use
Hello AJ. How can i import this machine. I need your help i can not find it in syria 🥺
Where do you get these designs from? Are these found online or created by you?
What's the name of the fabric you use at the end?
7:17 how do you leave a window on?
What a great name for your business!! Are you still making the Ouroboros rug? I would happily support your work by buying one :)
What type of backing you using.?
Hi Actually, I saw your artwork and loved it, so I wanted to learn it. Can you provide me with all the information about this artwork, where to get the Machine , the materials, what I value, and what it's called, i'm from Morocco?
Thank you
Lets go 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🤩
Amazing job! What monks cloth do you use? Or from where I guess would be the question
I get my tufting fabric from Tuft the World 😊 when they’re sold out, Etsy is a good place to look
very nice to see you working in art.Greetings from germania Frankfurt am Main.Toi toi toi
hi, how long does it take for the roberts 3095 to dry? how long do u normally wait until u proceed with the next step? thanks for ur content. u r inspiring
When I use Roberts 3095, I always back it with a fabric, so I don’t wait until it’s fully dry. I’ll wait 16-24 hours. I’m not sure it ever fully dries actually… it remains tacky from what I can tell. But I don’t mind because I’ll put a fabric on the back and the tackiness helps it stick more
If you trim/sheer a loop cut wrong wouldn’t there no longer be loops? They would just be cut strands?
Where can I get tufting gun
What kind of cloth is this that you are using?
What kind of yarn
Hey girl ne carful no one stole your designs
soy de Perú donde puedo comprar la pistola?
It is washeble?
Hi Aj am james I live in qatar I started tufting the other day after watching you work for a while, which tufting cloth is that's? I can't get any tufting material here except for burlap which is not working for me (I keep on making huge holes)
Monks cloth
I'm feeling so nervous about starting. I have a tufting gun. My son built the stand. Now, I'm intimated to use it. Help!!!!
Hey! im glad you're back! i just love your content so much and you inspire pure vibres, i was just wondering, do the smell of the glue n stuff is dangerous for you dog? im about to star tufting and my dog is always with me so i dont know if its convinient for her to be around, thakkss ajj
Hi! Thanks Luciana 💓 I always keep my dog out of the room when I’m gluing! Window open, door closed, respirator on, no dogs! And I keep the window open, door closed and fan blowing for at least 24 hours before my dog or I spend time in there. And even then, I limit his exposure until there’s no smell
Hi there! I'm just starting out and I want to know what type of fabric you use for the base of the rugs. thanks and greetings from Buenos Aires!
It’s called monks cloth
Can u make a christmas rug ?
